    Reports are coming in of dire driving conditions on the A59 Skipton Road, just a few miles from Harrogate.

    Heavy snow has fallen and some vehicles have had to be rescued. A lorry also got stuck.

    With sub-zero temperatures forecast tonight, the outlook is unlikely to improve overnight. Indeed, the combination of ice and snow could make matters even worse.



    The North Yorkshire Weather Updates social media pages have been showing numerous videos and photographs of hazardous conditions, particularly around Blubberhouses and Kex Gill.

    Storm Bella brought widespread flooding to the district today also.

    Be careful and let us know if you have got caught up in the travel chaos.
